Around 25 people demonstrated outside Royce Hall on Wednesday afternoon to protest the arrest of Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi, who faced charges from Israeli authorities this week after a video of her assaulting an Israeli soldier stationed outside her home was posted on social media. Tamimi’s military trial was originally scheduled for Wednesday but was postponed by an Israeli court. Kareem Youssef, a graduate student who participated in the protest, said the protest also aimed to condemn the Israeli government’s actions in regard to the situation and to draw attention to the imprisonment of Palestinian children.

The Daily Bruin Editorial Board recently called upon the Undergraduate Students Association Council to transform itself from a council. composed of executive positions and commissions, to a senate system, composed of senators free to choose their roles. What do you think about such a change?
A senate system would be a good way to ensure every community gains representation in student government, especially since candidates for commissions usually run unopposed.
A senate system would be an unnecessary expansion, since the current compositions of executive positions and commissions works better with specific roles for officers.
USAC will fail to accurately represent the student body regardless of its structure.
I have feelings about this that are not expressed in the options above.
